NPS NAV Skill
Query Indian NPS (National Pension System) fund data — NAV, scheme info, returns, history — using the free npsnav.in API.
Setup
No authentication or API keys required. The API is completely free for non-commercial use.

What is an NPS Scheme Code?
NPS scheme codes follow the format SM followed by 6 digits (e.g. SM001001). Each code uniquely identifies an NPS fund managed by a Pension Fund Manager (PFM). Scheme codes can be discovered via the Schemes API or from the full list of NPS funds.
